Late last night, Jean Pascal informed Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) that he had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. His symptoms are too severe for him to continue training for his IBF light heavyweight title elimination fight against German Michael Eifert, scheduled for Place Bell in Laval on February 9th.
Co-promoter of the event, DiBella Entertainment (DBE) President Lou DiBella, contacted Eifert’s promoter, Benedikt Poelchau, President of Blanko Sports, and also informed the IBF of the situation. It was agreed that the fight and the entire event would be postponed to a later date to be determined in March.
Bummer.
DEAR GOD!!!! I HOPE HE IS VACCINATED!!!!!!
I hope hes not vaccinated. Natural immunity is king.
How does Pascal keep getting these title shots?
Good point.
He’s the Chris Arreola of the super middle/lightheavies. Win or lose, he’s always somehow in the big picture.
Hope he has a speedy recovery, but that was a garbage fight, honestly.
He has a Cold virus that most of get some time. Covid is the biggest fraud in history.
I don’t know if I’d call it a fraud. I know people that died from it early on, but you are right, the COVID strains going around now, what ever the hell they are called, are nothing more than a cold or flu. I caught it last summer and it didn’t slow me down a bit. I isolated so I didn’t pass it on, but I remained very active. I’m kinda surprised to read that headline now that was all to common in 2020/21
Tell that to the 100,000 people in my state that died from it and their families. 100k don’t die in one state from colds or flu
A lot more people die from the colds or flu than you realize. I am not one of those guys who think COVID is a fraud. Like I said, I know people, seemingly young and healthy, that died from it. I’m double vaxed and all that. The COVID that’s going on now is greatly less virulent than the earlier strains. It is pretty much is like a cold or a flu. My 90 year old dad who is not in great health at all got COVID recently and took it like a champ. Furthermore, of the 100,000 people who died in your state of COVID, I’m guessing many of them had 9 toes in the grave to begin with.
People used that all the time to get out of work or functions but that ended 2021..from there, they use mental problems as an excuse ..this guy is behind
Pascal its time to hang them up.
Man, this guy likes testing positive for stuff.
